Subj : QWK from old readers

Hello everybody.

       I am a fan of offline readers. Although MultiMail is a fantastic reader
and works very well, every now and then I like to experiment with old offline
reader programs.

       Very well, one of the few that still ran at my Windows XP machine was
one called OFFLINE, version 1.58, from former Fidonet sysop Harvey Parisien.

       I tested it with two QWK packages: One from my Mystic board, configured
to use regular QWK packages (not QWKE), and another one from a dialup-only
system we have in Argentina that runs RemoteAccess 2.02 and JC-QWK, for good
old times' sake.

       Funny enough was that OFFLINE was able to read the packet from the
Argentinean system without issues, but the packet from my Mystic board got
there completely garbled.

       MultiMail can open both packets.

       What would be the difference between them?

Flavio
